POINTWISE CONVERGENCE RATE OF VANISHING VISCOSITY APPROXIMATIONS FOR SCALAR CONSERVATION LAWS WITH BOUNDARY

This article is concerned with the pointwise error estimates for vanishing vis- cosity approximations to scalar convex conservation laws with boundary.By the weighted error function and a bootstrap extrapolation technique introduced by Tadmor-Tang,an optimal pointwise convergence rate is derived for the vanishing viscosity approximations to the initial-boundary value problem for scalar convex conservation laws,whose weak entropy solution is piecewise C 2 -smooth with interaction of elementary waves and the ...

Viscosity Approximations by Generalized Contractions for Resolvents of Accretive Operators in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we prove a strong convergence theorem for resolvents of accretive operators in a Banach space by the viscosity approximation method with a generalized contraction mapping. The proximal point algorithm in a Banach space is also considered. The results extend some very recent theorems of W. Takahashi.

Viscosity method for hierarchical fixed point and variational inequalities with applications

A viscosity method for a hierarchical fixed point solving variational inequality problems is presented. The method is used to solve variational inequalities, where the involved mappings are non-expansive. Solutions are sought in the set of the fixed points of another non-expansive mapping. As applications, we use the results to study problems of the monotone variational inequality, the convex programming, the hierarchical minimization, and the quadratic minimization over fixed point sets.

Viscosity approximation methods with weakly contractive mappings for nonexpansive mappings

Let K be a closed convex subset of a real reflexive Banach space E, T：K→K be a nonexpansive mapping, and f：K→K be a fixed weakly contractive （may not be contractive） mapping. Then for any t∈（0, 1）, let x1∈K be the unique fixed point of the weak contraction x1→tf（x）＋（1-t）Tx. If T has a fixed point and E admits a weakly sequentially continuous duality mapping from E to E^＊, then it is shown that {xt} converges to a fixed point of T as t→0. The results presented here improve and generalize the corresponding results in （Xu, 2004）.

Viscosity approximation with weak contractions for fixed point problem,equilibrium problem,and variational inequality problem

This paper proposes a modified iterative algorithm using a viscosity approximation method with a weak contraction.The purpose is to find a common element of the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of a finite family of equilibrium problems that is also a solution to a variational inequality.Under suitable conditions,some strong convergence theorems are established in the framework of Hilbert spaces.The results presented in the paper improve and extend the corresponding results of Colao et al.（Colao,V.,Acedo,G.L.,and Marino,G.An implicit method for finding common solutions of variational inequalities and systems of equilibrium problems and fixed points of infinite family of nonexpansive mappings.Nonlinear Anal.71,2708–2715（2009））,Plubtieng and Punpaeng（Plubtieng,S.and Punpaeng,R.A general iterative method for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces.J.Math.Anal.Appl.336,455–469（2007））,Colao et al.（Colao,V.,Marino,G.,and Xu,H.K.An iterative method for finding common solutions of equilibrium problem and fixed point problems.J.Math.Anal.Appl.344,340–352（2008））,Yao et al.（Yao,Y.,Liou,Y.C.,and Yao,J.C.Convergence theorem for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems of infinite family of nonexpansive mappings.Fixed Point Theory Application 2007,Article ID 64363（2007）DOI 10.1155/2007/64363）,and others.

The New Viscosity Approximation Methods for Nonexpansive Nonself-Mappings

In this paper, to find the fixed points of the nonexpansive nonself-mappings, we introduced two new viscosity approximation methods, and then we prove the iterative sequences defined by above viscosity approximation methods which converge strongly to the fixed points of nonexpansive nonself-mappings. The results presented in this paper extend and improve the results of Song-Chen [1] and Song-Li [2].

Global Existence and Stability of Solutions to River Flow System

In this short note,we are concerned with the global existence and stability of solutions to the river flow system.We introduce a new technique to set up a relation between the Riemann invariants and the finite mass to obtain a time-independent,bounded solution for any adiabatic exponent.The global existence of solutions was known long ago[Klingenberg and Lu in Commun.Math.Phys.187:327-340,1997].However,since the uncertainty of the function b(x),which corresponds physically to the slope of the topography,the L∞estimates growed larger with respect to the time variable.As a result,it does not guarantee the stability of solutions.By employing a suitable mathematical transformation to control the slope of the topography by the friction and the finite mass,we prove the uniformly bounded estimate with respect to the time variable.This means that our solutions are stable.

ON PROBLEM OF NEAREST COMMON FIXED POINT OF NONEXPANSIVE MAPPINGS

The purpose is by using the viscosity approximation method to study the convergence problem of the iterative scheme for an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings and a given contractive mapping in a reflexive Banach space. Under suitable conditions, it was proved that the iterative sequence converges strongly to a common fixed point which was also the unique solution of some variational inequality in a reflexive Banach space. The results presented extend and improve some recent results.

Strong Convergence Theorems of Viscosity Approximation for Accretive Operators

Let E be a real Banach space and let A be an m-accretive operator with a zero. Define a sequence {x_n} as follows:x_n+1=α_nf(x_n)+(1-α_n)J_r_n x_n,where {α_n},{r_n} are sequences satisfying certain conditions,and J_r denotes the resolvent(I+rA)^(-1)for r>1.Strong convergence of the algorithm {x_n} is obtained provided that E either has a weakly continuous duality map or is uniformly smooth.

Viscosity Approximation Methods for Equilibrium Problems in Hilbert Spaces Involving the New Iterative Process with Error

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme with error by the viscosity approximation method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space. A strong convergence theorem is given, which generalizes all the results obtained by S.Takahashi and W.Takahashi in 2007. In addition, some of the methods applied in this paper improve those of S.Takahashi and W.Takahashi.

Stationary flow fields prediction of variable physical domain based on proper orthogonal decomposition and kriging surrogate model

In this paper a new flow field prediction method which is independent of the governing equations, is developed to predict stationary flow fields of variable physical domain. Predicted flow fields come from linear superposition of selected basis modes generated by proper orthogonal decomposition（POD）. Instead of traditional projection methods, kriging surrogate model is used to calculate the superposition coefficients through building approximate function relationships between profile geometry parameters of physical domain and these coefficients. In this context,the problem which troubles the traditional POD-projection method due to viscosity and compressibility has been avoided in the whole process. Moreover, there are no constraints for the inner product form, so two forms of simple ones are applied to improving computational efficiency and cope with variable physical domain problem. An iterative algorithm is developed to determine how many basis modes ranking front should be used in the prediction. Testing results prove the feasibility of this new method for subsonic flow field, but also prove that it is not proper for transonic flow field because of the poor predicted shock waves.
